Since these stories are (most of them) somewhat horror-adjacent, it seems fitting to announce that the book will be published on Halloween!

Life advice from Oliver: you can always use your sister’s butt as a pillow, should the need arise.
This may or may not be very applicable to the human world… but you do what you need to do.

"The Keeping of Little Things" is a dream-like exploration of a young woman’s psyche as she seeks to understand what it means to love and be loved... but it's also a horror novel in a very different kind of way.

Proofs for this novel came. Pretty happy with it... a dark and dreamlike bit of psychological horror.
If I was going to liken it to a movie, it would be in the realm of "Don't Look Now," perhaps, or Robert Altman's "Images."
Can't wait to unleash it.
